California

On June 22nd we left Provo for California. We first spent a few days at my parents house in Upland. We met up with our friends Katy and Clayton for a temple trip. We went to the Newport Temple which is breathtaking, and then we ate lunch on the pier at Ruby's Diner. We also went to Magic Mountain and learned that Dianna has an even stronger stomach for roller coasters than Dave. We also went with our parents to Palm Springs for the Aerial Tramway. It is a tramway that takes you up more than 8,000 feet to this green forest above Palm Springs. We also stayed in one of the days and watched the first season of Lost - awesome!

We left Upland and drove down to San Diego for a few days just by ourselves. We did meet up with Liz and Ethan though to go to the San Diego Zoo. Dianna got to feed the Giraffes! While in San Diego we had great seafood and some really good dessert at Ghiradelli's (Dave's favorite). After San Diego we left for Las Vegas where we stayed with Garth and Jamie. We went to see Ratatouille with them and then had an all night Tetris-off.

We reached Provo just before Church on Sunday and managed to get there on time. Our dear friends the Sweetwoods then invited us over for a steak dinner! It was very good food and a nice break from vacation and road trip choices. The following day we packed up our trailer and shipped it off to Dallas (thanks to Dave and company for helping us move).

We had so much fun in California and we will miss it!
